definitely choked we took another pitcher with austin wilson still available, wilson was a first round talent before getting hurt which lead to him dropping, after taking a pitcher with the first pick, and outfielder with pop would have been a much better choice. so far i would give our draft a C+. Not overly impressed. we have lots of arms in the system, we need bats.

For what it's worth, I saw Austin Wilson go 1-for-5 in a game against the University of Oregon this year:

There is still some talent left on the board. I'm sure we will sign some college seniors, but I think we still grab about 2 guys who fall for signability concerns and we go over slot for them.

I still like Ryan Boldt, Sandberg and Talez. We seem to be thin in the lower depth of the minors in position players; I think they will address that today and tomorrow.

But who knows I've been wrong about almost everything so far. I got the top 4 rigth! just in the wrong order. Generally I got the top 10, but again all out of order and Trey Ball was a surprise, I've heard his name mentioned and I thought he was a possibility but I really thought one of Stewart/Frazier/Moran would fall to them and if they didn't they would take Meadows.

The further away from pick#1 you get the more of a crap shoot it is so who knows what happens today. It will be wait and see and then study up on the guy they take.

I would have preferred the local kid Kevin Ziomek from Vanderbilt over Stanko. He is a big, college lefty who was the Friday night starter for a dominant college program. He had comparable stats to Appel this season.

KZ: 11-2, 1.92 ERA, 112.1 IP, 74 H, 38 BB, 111 K, 0.186 BAA

MA: 10-4, 2.12, 106 IP, 80 H, 23 BB, 130 K, 0.203 BAA

Seems like KZ lacks the command and swing and miss capabilities of Appel, but still knows how to pitch. I would have preferred the more advanced college arm to pair with Ball - who is a project in the truest of definitions.

Sox take Denney, who was in the first round on almost everyones mock draft. Slipped presumabley because of signability concerns...I think the Sox push to sign him otherwise they wouldn't of wasted this pick on him.

sorry I was writing when you posted...

This kid looks good on both offens eand defense.

Hey you wrote it better than me, you got the highschool and everything in there.

41 out of the first 100 picks hs kids. Throw in another 5 or 6 freshman juco and we re at almost 50 percent. Like I mentioned in a previous post, this new CBa really hurts the coll players as far as money goes. Look for the $1000 coll seniors to start dropping like flies again after rnd 5, then back to hs kids from 10 to 20 rnd...
